At the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting of Siemens AG in Munich, company shareholders approved the early reelection of Nicola Leibinger-Kammüller, Jim Hagemann Snabe and Werner Wenning to additional five-year terms on Siemens’ Supervisory Board. This step is intended to ensure continuity – with a view to the long-term, successful implementation of the company’s Vision 2020 strategy – beyond the regular election of shareholder representatives to the Supervisory Board in January 2018.
The Annual Shareholders’ Meeting also ratified the acts of Siemens’ Managing and Supervisory Boards for fiscal 2015 and, as recommended by the Managing and Supervisory Boards, approved a dividend of €3.50 per share for fiscal 2015.
In addition, company shareholders approved the spin-off and transfer agreement between Siemens AG and Siemens Healthcare GmbH of December 2, 2015. A key aim of this agreement is to enable a transparent and source-based transfer to Siemens Healthcare GmbH of Siemens’ obligations – and, in particular, of its pension obligations – arising from employment relationships with the former employees of Siemens’ Healthcare business.
The proposals regarding these agenda items were approved by large majorities.
